The Summerfield Eco-village Partnership
is a £2.3m Eco-Village project in the Summerfield area of Birmingham instigated by the Family Housing Association (Birmingham) working in partnership with Birmingham City Council, local residents, Urban Living, and New World Solar.
It is the largest renewable technology retrofit project in the UK.

Solar panels, super insulation and energy efficient heating and lighting were fitted free of charge to 329 owner occupier homes to help reduce fuel poverty for people on low incomes. The installations delivered an estimated 60% saving per annum on each household's hot water costs, reduced fuel bills and created a number of employment opportunities for local residents.

Part of Summerfield church hall has been transformed into an eco office and community facility for local people and 6 houses have been converted back from flats into much needed large family eco-homes, demonstrating what can be achieved when modernising older Victorian houses. The first of these achieved an Eco Homes "excellent" rating and the subsequent 5 homes have achieved code 3 and code 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes.

The project won the Public Sector category of
the 2008 National Energy Efficiency Awards - a showcase for innovative energy efficiency work across 10 categories. The judges declared it
“A fantastic partnership approach, with a high number of innovative communication methods.
A worthy winner”.
